The three of you are still on the road. The sun is coming up. Chloe's asleep in the back, Clem is still driving, and you're on your phone. You sigh. Clem looks at you briefly before looking back at the road.
Clem: What's wrong?
You: Nothing, I've just been...thinking.
Clem: About...?
You: About...
You look away from your phone and at Clem.
You: why my dad kept me only to beat me.
Clem looks at you sympathetically. She looks back at the road but still has the same facial expression.
Clem: Well...you said he always needed money, right?
You: Yeah.
Clem: Maybe he kept you so that he doesn't have to work?
You: Yeah, maybe... You say, looking out the window. I just...thought that maybe he loved me at one point.
Clem looks at you with sympathy again. Chloe hears this from the back, making her think. Chloe's phone dings, making you and Clem both look back at her.
She sits up and takes out her phone. Clem looks back at the road.
You: Who is it?
Chloe: It's just my mom. She asked where I was and if I wanted some breakfast.
Clem: Not really sure if we have the time for a house visit.
Chloe: Nah, she wasn't talking about my place. She was talking about Two Whales.
You: "Two Whales"?
Chloe: It's a diner.
You and Clem look at each other. You look back at Chloe.
You: It'd be nice if we got some good food.
Clem: Yeah, we've been eating protein bars and shit.
Chloe: You guys sure? I thought you wouldn't be taking breaks.
You: It's not a break, it's a place to recharge.
Chloe sighs.
Chloe: Alright, fine. I could kill for some pancakes, anyway.
You take out your phone and you open up maps. You look up Two Whales.
You: It's a few miles North.
Clem: Got it.
Timeskip
Clem pulls up to a diner with a whale on the sign.
Chloe: Here we are, fellow mateys.
You all get out of the truck. Chloe leaves her door open so that you can grab the hats and sunglasses. You grab yours and Clem's baseball caps and sunglasses. You give her a pair of sunglasses and one of the hats. She looks at the hat.
Clem: What does the 'D' stand for?
You: I don't know, just wear it.
She shrugs her shoulders before putting the hat on. She looks nice, so you smile.
Clem: How do I look?
Chloe: Let's just say you have a head for hats.
She puts on her sunglasses. You put on your hat and sunglasses and you close the door. The three of you walk inside the diner.
Chloe: C'mon.
She brings you to an empty booth. You and Clem sit next to each other and Chloe sits on the other side.
